Because of excellent advice on this newsgroup I was able to buy a
prepaid SIM (Vodaphone--D2) in Germany and use it in my Motorola V66
phone.  It turned out that I could even call back to the USA--of course
it was very expensive.

I understand that Vodaphone has a global GSM phone with Japanese
language. Can anyone tell me what the model number is?
Thanks,

There are zillions of these, and I'm having a big problem sorting them
out. Perhaps some kind soul whose interests match mine will have sorted
this out and will give me the short answer:
Which Nokia GPRS phone to buy?

Anyone know if there are any 1900MHz operators in Isreal and Hong Kong?

I was able to make a call this morning at home, where my AT&T phone hasn't
worked in the past. It starting displaying Cingular as the service there a
couple of days ago. The person I called said that my ID wasn't showing up on
their (non-GSM) phone.

No games, no email, no messaging.  I don't care what it looks like.
Reasonable battery life and enough VOLUME -- so I can hear people
talking to me.  Just a phone I can put my T-mobile SIMM card in and
rely on.

Hi, I need to develop an application (Windows 2000 PC based) to  
communicate (to collect data) with data loggers (which have gsm - via  
siemens TC45 cellular engine).
As far as I understand, there are three options for communications:

I know this has been discussed before, but I wondered if with changing times
and software or hardware advances this has changed too.

My company has about 6 of these buggers, and it'll be a shame if we cant ...

I have a Samsung T-Mobile phone (it's the simple model, the one they
give out for free). I'm from Texas, and over there the battery lasts
for a long time.
I'm now in California, and over here, even if I don't use the phone

My NOKIA 3310 original NiMh battery needs replacing,
Now  i see there are 2 replacements, the NiMh and also a Li-ion type with
more Mah.
Can i safely use the Li-ion type with my original adapter?

I have a gsm module which during initialisation it returns +wind: 7 code.
Looking up the codes it says emergency calls. What does this mean?

All,
I'd like to write a utility to send SMS messages to cell phones from my PC.
I work for a small wireless carrier and we send messages to many of our
customers reminding them to pay their bills.  Our tech guy quit recently and

Speaking of buying SIM cards when one arrives, vs. buying a SIM before
departing the U.S., does anyone know if I can buy a SIM at De Gaulle
airport when flying into Paris?  And for what price?

Does anyone know of a link that lists the e-mail addreses of the
various cellular providers, so that one could send a message if the
phone number and subscriber are known?  I've seen such a page, but
don't remember where I'd seen it.  Thanks in advance!

    I am curious to know what kind of differences exists among
different GSM modems. If some OEM says his GSM modem confirms to GSM
